Karol G kicked off her first-ever stadium tour at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas last week on Thursday (Aug. 10).

From career milestones and new music releases to major announcements and those little, important moments, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.
Juanes’ very own Fender guitar
Colombian star Juanes celebrated his birthday in a big way. The “Gris” singer unveiled his very own signature Fender guitar called the “Juanes Stratocaster.” The guitar features a custom “Luna White” satin finish, which is an ode to his first born daughter, Luna. According to a press release, all artist proceeds from the Stratocaster Guitar and the Juanes capsule collection will go towards Mi Sangre Foundation, Juanes’ philanthropic initiative.
“Nowadays, I feel that I only need this guitar and many ideas,” Juanes said in a statement. “My relationship with Fender began when I was living in Colombia. I decided to sell everything I had to buy my first Fender guitar and I came to the United States and recorded my first album. And today, I can say that we have a Juanes Stratocaster in Luna White. It’s a dream. I can’t believe it, I’m very happy.”

Sebastián Yatra at the U.S. Open
When you receive a personal call from tennis star Carlos Alcaráz inviting you to the U.S., you pick up the call and accept. That’s what Yatra did when Alcaráz called him to ask if he’d not only attend but also perform “Vagabundo” at the Sound of the Open show on Aug. 25 in New York. “Let’s go,” responds Yatra. “But you’ll have to sing the song with me. Thanks for the invite. I’m excited to see you again.” Tickets to show can be purchased here.
Family trip
Mexican singer Mario Bautista was recently in Paris celebrating his abuela‘s 95th birthday. The special trip was captured on photos, which Bautista later shared on social media with an emotional caption. “We took my grandma to France for the first time to celebrate her 95th birthday, almost a century old and traveling the world with all her creations, sharing one of the most valuable moments that life has given us,” he wrote. “Thank you, beautiful life, cheers to you, for so many blessing and moments with my family. Happy birthday, grandma, we’re going for the 100.”

This week, our New Music Latin roundup — a compilation of the best new Latin songs, albums, and videos recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — is powered by new music from Rauw Alejandro, Karol G, and Trueno, to name a few.
Karol G dropped her new album Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), a set that’s not considered a deluxe or remix album but rather includes 10 fresh tracks. Re-entering her Bichota Era, this time with light-pink hair, Karol G delivers songs about overcoming adversities, self-confidence, being over her ex, and believing in love again.
She navigates from hard-hitting perreos (“Gatita Gangster”) to chill reggae beats (“Me Tengo Que Ir”) to her first-ever cumbia song (“Mi Ex Tenía Razón”), inspired by Selena Quintanilla, and reeled in some impressive collaborators, such as Peso Pluma and Young Miko, to name a few.
While Karol G is celebrating life and love, Rauw Alejandro is heartbroken in his new track “Hayama Hana by Raúl.”
In the ballad set over weeping keyboards, Rauw not only opens up about his recent breakup from Rosalía but also pens an honest love letter. “What will come next? I don’t know/ But I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, hey/ They will study your art over time/ When they plan, I know that they always take you as an example,” he sings. “I’ll finish our little house in case you feel like coming back/ Today I stop writing to you, not loving you.”
Other notable releases this week include Banda MS and Yahritza y Su Esencia’s first collaborative effort in “Solo Que Lo Dudes,” Luis R. Conriquez’s attempt at reggaeton music in “Botelleo,” and Trueno’s “TRANKY FUNKY,” among others.
Last week, Feid’s “Vente Conmigo” won the reader poll with over 44 percent of the votes. What’s your favorite new Latin music release of the week? Vote below!

Banda MS & Yahritza y Su Esencia, “Solo Que Lo Dudes” (Lizos Music)
[embedded content]
It’s the first time Yahritza Y Su Esencia has recorded a song with Banda MS — but it’s not the first time the two acts have united forces. Back in June, the sibling trio joined the legendary band onstage in Los Angeles to sing “Mi Mayor Anhelo,” which is around when they teased they were working on a collab. “Solo Que Lo Dudes” is a rhythmic tuba-powered cumbia that puts both Yahritza’s and Alan’s (from Banda MS) powerful and distinctive vocals at the forefront, as they sing about an “amor bonito,” or genuine love. “More than I could’ve ever imagined, stay with me, stay by my side. No one can stop this pretty love, let’s love each other slowly … I need you,” they declare. This new cumbia song comes on the heels of Yahritza Y Su Esencia’s other cumbia single, the Grupo Frontera-assisted “Frágil,” peaking at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. It’s the trio’s first leader on any Billboard ranking. — GRISELDA FLORES
Rauw Alejandro, “Hayami Hana by Raúl”
[embedded content]
Rauw Alejandro pens a heart-wrenching love letter to Rosalía in “Hayami Hana,” a ballad set over keyboards, where he raps and croons about the difficulties of their breakup, revealing that he never thought they would part ways. The track — whose title in Japanese could be translated as “flower of rare beauty,” and for now is only available on Rauw’s YouTube and SoundCloud accounts — comes less than a month after the couple announced that they’d ended their relationship after nearly four years together. Its moving lyrics are a testament of Rauw’s deep love and respect for his ex-fiancée, both as a person and as an artist. “What will come next? I don’t know/ But I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, hey/ They will study your art over time/ When they plan, I know that they always take you as an example,” sings Rauw. And in one of the most heartbreaking moments he laments, “I’ll finish our little house in case you feel like coming back/ Today I stop writing you, not loving you.” It made me tear up without realizing it. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS
Estevie & Cuco, “El Paso” (Nice Life Recording Company/Interscope Records)
[embedded content]
Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Mexican-American singer Estevie (born Sarah Silva) is reviving the spirit of vintage borderland cumbia. On her latest single “El Paso” — already an irresistible cut punctuated by a gripping accordion riff over a savory güiro rhythm — the SoCal star delivers a heartwarming romance, described as “A Chicano love story,” alongside indie pop sensation Cuco, who comes in a minute and a half later to offer his bu tender croon. In the visual, Cuco shines like the sun (literally), while Estevie travels far and wide in search of her soulmate. “El Paso” is the final single leading to Estevie’s debut EP, Cumbialicious, out at the end of September. — ISABELA RAYGOZA
Karol G, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) (Bichota Records/Interscope Records)
Karol G is so excited about making history with her 2023 album Mañana Será Bonito, and kicking off her first-ever stadium tour this week, that she has released even more new music. Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) is not a deluxe or remix album, but rather a sequel to February’s Mañana — one that shows a more experimental Karol, and one who’s healed and matured, and is both in love and empowered as ever.
The set kicks off with the hard-hitting drill/rap fusion “BICHOTAG,” where she chants about being the ultimate bichota — no ifs, ands, or buts. It then navigates to tracks such as “OKI DOKI” and “Mi Ex Tenía Razón,” the set’s focus track, where the Colombian artist delivers a dulcet cumbia/Tex-Mex track à la Selena Quintanilla (one of Karol’s favorite artists). The set also includes several high-profile collaborations, with Karol reeling in fellow Colombiana Kali Uchis (“Me Tengo Que Ir”) as well as newcomers Peso Pluma (“QLONA”), Dei V (“Gatita Gangster”), and Young Miko (“Dispo”).
To everyone’s surprise, Bichota Season is also home to “Una Noche en Medellín (Remix,)” alongside rising Chilean artist Cris MJ and Ryan Castro (the remix was slated for a 2022 release). The track, about enjoying the night life in Medellín, was originally released by Cris MJ last year, and performed live for the first time during Karol’s set at the 2022 Viña del Mar festival. The album closes with the previously released “Provenza (Remix)” by Tiesto, which debuted at the 2022 Tomorrowland Festival. — JESSICA ROIZ

Karol G has re-entered her Bichota era—this time with light pink hair and a new album dubbed Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), out today (Aug. 11) via Bichota Records/Interscope Records. Home to 10 tracks, including the previously released “Provenza (Remix)” with Tiësto and “S91,” Bichota Season delivers a new side of the Colombian superstar, who […]
Rauw Alejandro pours his heart out in his new song “Hayami Hana,” a love letter to Rosalía in which he opens up about how difficult their breakup has been for him and says that he never thought they would separate.
“We’ve argued, I find it hard to express myself/ All my shortcomings you already know/ I have to put up with your things too/ But the option of removing myself never crossed my mind,” sings the Puerto Rican star.
The track released on Thursday (August 10) — whose title in Japanese could be translated as “flower of rare beauty” — comes less than a month after the couple announced that they have ended their relationship after nearly four years together. Its moving lyrics evidence Rauw’s deep love and respect for his ex-fiancée, both as a person and as an artist.
“What will come next? I don’t know/ But I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, hey/ They will study your art over time/ When they plan, I know that they always take you as an example,” sings Rauw. And in one of the most heartbreaking moments he laments, “I’ll finish our little house in case you feel like coming back/ Today I stop writing you, not loving you.”
Rauw and Rosalía met in person in 2019 — after months of messaging each other on social media — at a Las Vegas hotel lounge during the Latin Grammys. It was love at first sight, the couple told Billboard for their cover story interview. Shortly after, on March 24, 2023, they revealed that they were engaged in the music video for “Beso,” one of the three songs included on their joint EP RR, released that same day.
Since the inception of their relationship, Rosalía and Rauw were each other’s biggest supporters on and off the stage. Rosalía sang backing vocals on “Dile a Él” from Rauw’s first album, Afrodisiaco (2020), as well as on “Corazón Despeinado” from Saturno (2022), while Rauw co-wrote some lyrics for Rosalía’s “Chicken Teriyaki” from her Grammy and Latin Grammy-winning 2022 album, Motomami.
“I’m lucky to be your partner, and I want to be there for you, sabes? And I feel you’re there for me, independent of the careers,” said Rosalía, who had Rauw as a guest on her Coachella set in April where they performed “Beso” and “Vampiros” off RR. “For me, our relationship is first, and then there’s everything else. Of course my career is super important in my life, but at the same time, in my life, you’re my companion, and everything else comes second.”

In case we never talk againAnd my favorite eyes don’t look at me againI do this for when you want to rememberOf the crazy person who really loved you.And I’m not going to make myself strongI am not going to fake itEveryone here knows that I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna miss youYes, there is nothing to hide hereBut there are a couple things that I want to get off my chest.
Everybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, they know s–tEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThey say they know, they know s–t
We’ve arguedI find it hard to express myselfAll my shortcomings you already knowI also have to put up with your thingsBut the option of removing myself never crossed my mind.And what a pity, couples no longer lastThey last a little, there are few old people leftTo tell us their little tricksHow can I seeAll my life with you, the dawn?And mami I don’t have the answer for thisBut I loved both your qualities and defects equallyEverything gets harder with timeBut not all people are prepared for thisAnd I don’t blame you, the life we lead is not for everyoneThe press, social media, peer pressuresBeing away is more difficult, easier togetherWe work non-stop but to what extentBeing in our little camp is worth more than all the money and fameTo wake up and see you by my sideI don’t feel like getting out of bed
Hey, all my songs are for you since AfrodisíacoEveryone knows that, that’s irrelevantIt’s that I can’t stop missing her sleeping in my armsI don’t know how to stop thinking about that last hugAnd if I had known that it was going to be the last one, I wouldn’t have let her goMaybe now she would be by my sideWatching movies in tuck in bedBut this summer I had to be like the sun, alone
I may be many things, but never unfaithfulShe always had the key to my cellThis was something else that is not in my powerMy crystal girl, my paper boatYou disarmed and I tried to fix youAnd although you went far away from me, I stayedNow I’m not here but I want you to know thatYou are stronger than you thinkAnd I hope someday we can laugh at the pastThere are no grudges here, this is not a complaintIf you have given me the best daysThat’s why I have your name tattooed on my belly, maI gave you everything and I would do it againI will finish our little house in case you feel like coming backToday I stop writing you, not loving youHow to forget your kisses after that nap?
Everybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, they know s–tEverybody knows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThey say they know, they know s–t
To finishI know you’re going to be the best artistIt’s just that another like you I really don’t think existsYou are the most beautiful cover of all magazinesI would know even if I couldn’t seeIf just by hearing your voiceThe sea calms down from any tormentThousands of people agreeI don’t say it because of this feelingAnd from Los Angeles I knew itShe is my MOTOMAMIWhat will come next? I don’t knowBut I know that for you it will be all the Grammys, heyThey will study your art over timeWhen they plan I know that they always take you as an exampleAnd even if they copy you, they will fail in the attemptBecause only God chooses a few with that talentYou are genuine, you are amazing, you are, you are pure joy, huhYou are medicineYou heal my heartAll those nights at home dancing to our songAnd if life brings me together with you on another occasionI won’t argue with fate’s reason
Once again I’m staying here without youD–n, baby, I’m gonna miss youI didn’t see this coming to an end, yeahOnce again I’m staying here without youThis time I’m not going to stop youI say goodbye to you, have a great time, yeahOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsI say goodbye to you, have a great timeOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsI say goodbye to you, have a great timeOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsI say goodbye to you, have a great timeOh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, how it hurtsOh-ah-ah-ahHayami Hana!Hayami Hana!Hayami Hana!Hayami Hana!Yeah, yeah

Luis Miguel, endearingly known as El Sol de México, will shine in the emblematic port of Acapulco. The beloved Mexican icon will return to one of the most symbolic places of his artistic career as part of his continental Luis Miguel Tour 2023. On Dec. 27, he will land at the GNP Arena in that city, promoters ECO Live and GOJO Live announced in a statement on Thursday (Aug. 10).
The superstar will return to the famous beach resort in the state of Guerrero after a five-year hiatus as part of the new dates announced for his 2023 tour. His first stint began Aug. 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and he’s now added Acapulco, as well as another date in Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, on Dec. 31.
ECO Live and GOJO Live said all information regarding his show in Acapulco “will be communicated soon.” On Wednesday, the governor of Guerrero, Evelyn Salgado Pineda, celebrated the return of the famous performer on her X (formerly Twitter) account.
“In Guerrero the Sun will shine stronger than ever to close 2023 with a bang. It gives me great pleasure to share with you the announcement of the return of @LMXLM in concert in Acapulco,” Salgado Pineda wrote in Spanish.
En #Guerrero el Sol brillará más fuerte que nunca para cerrar con broche de oro el 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣. ☀️🎤Me da mucho gusto compartirles el anuncio del regreso de @LMXLM en concierto 🎶 en #Acapulco. Todo esto en el marco de nuestra completa agenda turística y cultural que promovemos… pic.twitter.com/oavZdfhnSp— Evelyn Salgado Pineda (@EvelynSalgadoP) August 10, 2023
The Acapulco beach resort became a symbolic place for the “No Sé Tú” singer because of a luxurious mansion that belonged to him in the ’90s located there. Nestled in the exclusive Bonfil Beach, now called Punta Diamante, the house was characterized by its yellow color and huge windows that gave a wonderful view of the beach.
Micky, as he was affectionately known in his adolescence, lived for several years in that mansion in Acapulco, which then became his center of operations, before moving to Los Angeles and later to Miami.
His time in Acapulco was also portrayed in the 2018 Netflix bioseries Luis Miguel: The Series.
Miguel, who has placed 16 titles at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart and nine on Top Latin Albums, reached a new record July 19 after becoming the Latin American artist with the highest number of songs on the Spotify platform with 23, and more than 100 million streams.
In September, the singer will kick off the North American leg of his CMN-produced tour, visiting key cities such as Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami and Los Angeles, before concluding Dec. 31 in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
Following the success of his 2023 continental tour, the superstar announced Monday 50 additional dates for his Luis Miguel Tour 2024.
